Jared Scott, an award-winning motivational speaker and mental health expert, joins us to unpack the state of mental health in our schools. Jared says, “I started speaking at 15 years old, not by choice. I had a tragedy in my hometown. We had 12 students in one school year attempt to take their life.” Rather than dwelling on the problem, Jared is focused on solutions, and he offers actionable strategies for supporting the students in our schools and for changing school cultures to foster positive mental health.
